3. How to look for a good deal, diversify and acquire your first online business
4. Advice to entrepreneurs who are building businesses for exit
5. Blake’s CEO journey and his view on Happiness
This is how Blake sees happiness.
“Happiness is day-to-day satisfaction. It’s difficult to imagine all the things life will throw at you. Live each day one by one and live it to the fullest. Achieve at least one thing that makes me feel fulfilled at work. Happiness means spending enough time with my wife and daughter such that I could sense their joys in life as well as share my love for them. It means communicating with the people I know the best and feel fulfilled by and with colleagues who are smart and intelligent, friends who are human.”
